Abstract
The study is focused on four study sites, two in the Western Cape, namely the Bruno section and Lake Michelle and two in southwestern Australia, namely Wambellup Swamp and Devil's Pool. These sites were chosen as they are well situated to investigate the complex interaction between Late Quaternary climate change, the influence of fluctuating sea levels and the impact of human interaction with the environments in question and provide a regional picture of these interactions.
